After creating my exe in VFP, I want to assign it an icon.

How do I do that.

Thanks

Hope this helps.

From the project screen, right click in the description area. From the drop list, select project information.
From the project tab, click on attach icon. select your icon.

Also from the installshield you can assign an icon to your shortcut.

Hint. Uncheck debug info. You don't want that on in an exe.

HI
In the VFP .. open the project.. while the project is in focus.. Click in the VFP menu.. project->project info -> Click on the attach icon and also choose an icon for the project. While compiling the icon gets included. If you drag the execute to desktop, the icon will be represented.

If you are using VFP7, icon can be added for the desktop shortcut as well.
Hope this helps ramani :-9

There are a number of threads on this topic (use the Search box at the top of this page). Simply put, create a .ICO file with at least 16x16x16 and 32x32x16 images, and then in the Project Info, specify this file (and rebuild the .EXE). In addition if you want it to appear on the main window, include a statement like _screen.ico="myicon.ico".
